Show HN: Chromda – Serverless Website Screenshots

I hear you. I run Urlbox (https://urlbox.io) and accuracy is one of the hardest parts, as well as scaling hundreds or thousands of instances of chrome since it’s a real memory hog.

I also managed to get a version of the urlbox renderer working on lambda but it fails on some websites due to the /tmp space limits, for example trying to do a full page screenshot of a heavy page like dailymail would use up all of the available disk space in the lambda environment with chrome’s media cache.

Love what you have done with URLBOX dude! That's my goal standard when it comes to improving accuracy for GetScreenshot. I have tested with your website preview and I think both of our solutions nail accuracy, but you have been longer in this game so you probably have way more edge cases covered. I still find myself trying to address new edge cases every certain time.
